Indeed, it is a strange plastic. It was once flexible and is no longer.. 
inside it looks brittle now, but it was strong. For sure softener 
evaporated/migrated.

Many small parts break off my cases and since it happens on many, I 
guess it is a standard degeneration.

I did use polymeric contact adhesive (tradename/manufacturer whatever it 
is called in your country) which will never work on edge (in contrast to 
Epoxy or Cyanoacrylate) and used the RF metal sheet as bonder. Quicky, 
dirty, but at least it stays together on the SS10. At least I can pile 
up things again.
In any case I don't see a "good loking" way that can also be decently 
strong.

For the U2 instead I need to bond the edge and didn't do that yet.
